The chase for honours and medals will begin on Saturday, November 22nd, at the seventh edition of the annual Government College Ughelli, GCU Relays.

Interestingly, regular podium finishers and perennial participants, Urhobo College, Effurun, will be going for a double honour in this season’s sporting competitions, having just emerged champions of the Zenith Bank/ Delta Principals’ Cup tournament.

Still, other schools in contention for the magical doubles’ honours include Novena University Demonstration School and Federal Government College, Warri.

Over 60 medals in all categories and  trophies will be at stake during the one-day Intercollegiate Athletics Competition.

For the first time in the annals of the GCU Relays, two notable brands from the stables of both FrieslandCampina WAMCO and Nigerian Breweries will not only contribute their products but also activate at the venue.

So, for the youths across the country who will be part of the GCU Relays, it’s an opportunity to savour and take home Three Crowns milk and Maltina products.

These corporate giants, through their value-in-kind partnership, have greatly added value to the GCU Relays, now running for eight consecutive years, save for the COVID-19 year.

One of the key objectives of the GCU Relays is the revival and enhancement of healthy sports rivalry among secondary schools.

Past products and discoveries from the GCU Relays include Godson Oghenebrume, Sunday Akintan and Praise Ofoku.
